2019-01-15erts: Make sure to take main lock when dumping proc infoLukas Larsson
If the main lock is not taken then any process running on a dirty scheduler may cause all kinds of problems.
2018-07-17Optimise creation of anonymous functionsMichał Muskała
This introduces a similar optimisation for normal funs to what was introduced for external funs in #1725. It is possible to allocate the fun as a literal, if it does not capture the environment (i.e. it does not close over any variables). Unfortunately it's not possible to do this in the compiler due to problems with representation of such functions in the `.beam` files. Fortunately, we can do this in the loader. Simple evaluation shows that functions that don't capture the enviornment consistute over 60% of all funs in the source code of Erlang/OTP itself. The only downside is that we lose a meningful value in the `pid` field of the fun. The goal of this field, beyond debugging, was to be able to identify the original node of a function. To be able to still do this, the functions that are created in the loader are assigned the init pid as the creator. To solve issues with staryp, initially set the `erts_init_process_id` to `ERTS_INVALID_PID` and skip the described optimisation if the value is still uninitialised.
2018-04-23erts: Rewrite memory instrumentationJohn Högberg
This commit replaces the old memory instrumentation with a new implementation that scans carriers instead of wrapping erts_alloc/erts_free. The old implementation could not extract information without halting the emulator, had considerable runtime overhead, and the memory maps it produced were noisy and lacked critical information. Since the new implementation walks through existing data structures there's no longer a need to start the emulator with special flags to get information about carrier utilization/fragmentation. Memory fragmentation is also easier to diagnose as it's presented on a per-carrier basis which eliminates the need to account for "holes" between mmap segments. To help track allocations, each allocation can now be tagged with what it is and who allocated it at the cost of one extra word per allocation. This is controlled on a per-allocator basis with the +M<S>atags option, and is enabled by default for binary_alloc and driver_alloc (which is also used by NIFs).
2018-04-12New process_info() implementation using signalsRickard Green
2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system implementation has however previously preformed most operation synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support) it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention issues. The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations of (almost) all signals have been changed. Currently the following signals have been implemented as true asynchronous signals: - Message signals - Exit signals - Monitor signals - Demonitor signals - Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc) - Link signals - Unlink signals - Group leader signals All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the language. The implementation of messages signals was quite asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes. The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file. The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

2018-01-03Replace the libc environment with a thread-safe emulationJohn Högberg
putenv(3) and friends aren't thread-safe regardless of how you slice it; a global lock around all environment operations (like before) keeps things safe as far as our own operations go, but we have absolutely no control over what libc or a library dragged in by a driver/NIF does -- they're free to call getenv(3) or putenv(3) without honoring our lock. This commit solves this by setting up an "emulated" environment which can't be touched without going through our interfaces. Third-party libraries can still shoot themselves in the foot but benign uses of os:putenv/2 will no longer risk crashing the emulator.

2017-10-18Buffer writing of crash dumpsBjörn Gustavsson
Writing of crash dumps were done using unbuffered IO. This is slow since many small writes are done. Use a FILE* with an allocated buffer to obtain buffered IO. I wrote a small test program that created 50000 binaries of 200 bytes each and then created a crash dump. The crash dumping was an order of magnitude faster with buffered IO than without.
